Sparks (Acoustic Demo)

(albüm: B Sides - 2018)

Come, sit, take the load off
Talk with me a while
Community is common pain
And common joy and offered time
We don't have to agree on everything

You'll learn something from me
And I'll learn something from you
We all have a story
And a past we've lived through
And I think it's kind of beautiful

We were born for the struggle
We were born for the pain
Eve ate the apple and I did the same
Eve ate the apple and I did the same

We're so busy capturing and broadcasting
The moment that we do not live it
So consumed with the playback of our lives
We don't know we are not in it
Put down the camera and look me in the eye

So much for, so much for the myth of progress
Seems to me it's still about who gots the mostest
While the pigeon holders hold their placards high

We were born into trouble
We were born into pain
Eve ate the apple and I did the same

We are, we are
A ragamuffin lament if we are honest
Oh Abraham
We are the stars you were promised

I wanna feel something real even if it's hard
Like facing the gap between the people we wanna be
And the people we are
See you and I, we're not so different

Think it's time I set sail from
Disillusionment to hope
Take that big, big river
In my small, small boat
Show myself we're not all darkness
All darkness

We were born for the beauty, for the poetry of pain
Surely as sparks fly upward from the flame
Eve ate the apple and I did the same
Eve ate the apple and I did the same
